Percutaneous endoscopic thoracic discectomy via posterolateral approach: A case report of migrated thoracic disc herniation.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
rationaleMinimally invasive surgeries for thoracic disc herniation (TDH) evolved rapidly in recent years, and multiple approaches have been put forward. Thoracic discectomy via percutaneous spine endoscopy (PSE) is inadequately documented because of the low prevalence of TDH and the high difficulty of thoracic spine endoscopy techniques. Herein, we present a TDH case who underwent percutaneous endoscopic thoracic discectomy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 28-year-old male suffered backpain and partial paralysis in lower extremities. DIAGNOSES: Magnet resonance imaging demonstrated T11-12 TDH, with cranially migrated disc fragment.
interventionsThe patient underwent percutaneous endoscopic thoracic discectomy via posterolateral approach with the assistance of endoscopic reamer in the procedure of foramino-laminaplasty. OUTCOMES: The patient's muscle force improved immediately, and the backpain relieved after 5 days post-surgery. In the 6-month follow-up, he had normal muscle force without paresthesia in lower limbs. LESSONS: The innovative design of endoscopic reamer provides effective plasty and access establishment with lower risk and difficulty, which ensures the vision and the operating space of the procedure of decompression. With this technique, the indications of thoracic PSE were broadened to both ventral and dorsal thoracic stenosis.
